  • Patent number: 10351317
    Abstract: A metering and pouring device for flowable substances including a holding part having an inside jacket enclosing a rotationally-symmetrical holding chamber with a first chamber section and a radially-projecting opening edge. The first chamber section extends axially from the opening edge to a circumferential, inclined support surface having a passage window. A metering insert encloses a metering chamber and is arranged within the holding part and has a metering window. A rotatable closure part can be turned from a first position into a second position and vice versa and will effect a turn of the metering insert relative to the holding part and a turn of the passage window relative to the metering window.

  • Publication number: 20090120936
    Abstract: A plastic tamper-evident screw closure is disclosed for containers and bottles. An exemplary tamper-evident screw closure includes a screw cap, which has a cylindrical jacket with an internal thread, and an annular tamper-evident strip which is connected to a free edge of the jacket by breaking webs or the like and is equipped with locking elements. The tamper-evident strip can have a smaller outside diameter than the jacket of the screw cap. The locking elements can be configured as undercut regions in the tamper-evident strip which in each case run between two adjacent breaking webs as a ring segment, and extend from a cylindrical inner wall to an outer wall of the tamper-evident strip.
